The Tale of the Lost Stardrops

This is a story about Stardrops.

Stardrops are little creatures that might one day become a star. That's a lot of responsibility! These baby Stardrops got cold feet, and ended up lost all over the galaxy. Now, it's up to their mother to bring them all back home, and help them be brave. It's time to light up the night sky — together. 

On your journey to find the babies, you'll have to launch from orbit to orbit. Be careful not to hit anything... Stardrops are fragile! Aiming and timing are key when exploring in this precise, physics-based collectathon.

Controls:

Aim — mouse / left stick

Launch — hold, then release left click / A

Toggle fullscreen — Alt + Enter

The longer you hold, the further you'll launch — so, if you need to travel a long distance, make sure you're charging up all the way!

You can move around every orbit in both directions. To enter an orbit, you'll need to launch along with the curve with sufficient speed.

Note: Due to an oversight, if a gamepad is connected, mouse controls will be disabled unconditionally. If you want to play with a mouse, make sure all gamepads are disconnected. This was fixed in the post-jam update, so you only need to worry about this if you're playing the jam version (which is not recommended)!
